Synopsis

The remote SAP NetWeaver ABAP server may be affected by an authorization bypass vulnerability.

Description

The remote SAP NetWeaver ABAP server may be affected by an authorization bypass vulnerability. SAP NetWeaver allows an attacker to bypass authorization checks, enabling them to view portions of ABAP code that would normally require additional validation. Once logged into the ABAP system, the attacker can run a specific transaction that exposes sensitive system code without proper authorization. This vulnerability compromises the confidentiality.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Apply the appropriate patch according to the vendor advisory.
